Chief of detectives Robert T. Ironside is shot down by a sniper’s bullet whilst vacationing at a remote cabin. Surviving the assassination attempt, Ironside is left paralysed from the waist down. Confined to a wheelchair, he becomes the head of his own special police unit, fighting crime with intelligence and action, aided by a crack team of investigators on the streets of San Francisco. 

From 1967-1975, Ironside confronted the hottest issues of its time - civil rights, drugs, sexual assault and terrorism - many of which are still relevant to this day, giving television its first disabled hero. Raymond Burr, fresh from 9 years as TV’s most famous lawyer, Perry Mason, shook the typecasting from his previous role and made Ironside an instant hit with audiences, running an incredible 8 years. 

This 8 disc set includes all 28 Season One episodes, plus the original feature length pilot which launched the series, with guest stars Harrison Ford, Bruce Lee, Jack Lord, Susan Saint James, David Carradine and many more.
